Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 409

Chapter 409 Abyss

Shawn looked at the bewitched Jackson with a cold expression. He said, "Han is more than a trillion-dollar investor. He also happens to be the director of the world's top Kendrick Group and the formidable Hendrik! If it were that simple to keep him apart from Sarah, I would have already done it."

I wouldn't have given them a second chance to meet if I had known from the beginning.

Jackson, however, was confident. He stared at Shawn with contempt in his eyes, and he said, "In this era of information, it’s easy to destroy trust between two people. We can start with Anna."

Shawn sneered coldly, "How often have you said that you could defeat Han? What is your result?"

He was tired of hearing such claims.

He walked up to Jackson and stared at him from a towering position. He spoke with a blank expression, "Are you aware of how far Kendrick Group has cornered my company? If this plan fails again, can you withstand Han's fury?"

Jackson slammed the table in frustration as he sprung to his feet.

He said, "Of course I know, I’m surprised that the old fox had already secretly arranged everything before he went abroad two years ago. He has established numerous small companies in secret over the years and his preparation had come to fruition recently.

"If we don't give him a heavy blow now, these companies will strike us hard and completely suppress Ford Group if we don't give him a severe blow right away. They won't give us a chance to catch our breath!"

Jackson looked straight into Shawn’s eyes and said, "You should be aware that high risk frequently entails high reward. We can take a wager. This time, we must pull Sarah and the White Group to our side and launch a simultaneous physical and psychological assault on Han!"

Shawn wore a gloomy expression, it took him a long time before he answered slowly, "Fine. I'll give you one last opportunity."

This old man wouldn't need to live another day if he failed once more!

Leah returned to Villa Victoria in the evening. The moment she entered the house, a cutie clung to her leg.

"Mommy! You're finally home! Uncle Ben had selected a photo frame for us. He just sent it over today. We had framed the pictures from our last outing!"

Carlotta led Leah to the centre of the living room to admire the photos.


Leah looked at the gigantic oil painting that stood at six feet and hung on the retro carving wall. She suddenly felt a severe headache.

"When did you find someone to paint this?"

The oil painting featured the image of the three of them as a family.

Carlotta said happily, "When you’re admitted to the hospital!"

Leah was unable to bring herself to gaze at it. She had no idea why Han would consent to the child's irrational request.

"Mommy! Let's go out and play together next time!"

Carlotta looked at the photos satisfiedly. Those photos were placed in every corner of the villa. Her little face was blushing due to her happiness.

Leah could not bear to let her down.

"Alright," she said with a nod of agreement.

Leah had to cough once more before she could finish her sentence. She covered her mouth and coughed lightly when she noticed Carlotta standing next to her. She suppressed the itchiness in her throat. Before she lost control, she hastily found an excuse to go to the bathroom. At this point, she could no longer hold back her cough.

The white sink's porcelain surface was covered in bloodstains. The colour was strikingly sharp under the light. In a daze, Leah wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth as she stared in the mirror at her own image.

What in the world is going on with me? The doctor found nothing wrong during my body check-up. Why am I coughing so severely?

Leah experienced a piercing pain and numbness in her heart as she thought about this. She had to crouch down, clutching her chest, and gasp for breath.

Could I be suffering from a fatal illness?

This speculation sent chills down her spine and drained the colour from her face. Leah finally composed herself, washed her face, cleaned the bloodstains from the sink, and then confidently walked out of the bathroom.

She seemed to need to schedule some time to receive a thorough body check-up.

The following day, the sky was somewhat drab and there was a light drizzle falling from it.

Leah walked along the city streets. She made a squelching sound when she stepped on the rain-soaked brown-yellow leaves. After the rain, a pleasant aroma filled the air. She walked to a nearby street with an umbrella.

Serena informed her that the workers at Dream Designs were craving desserts from a nearby shop. Leah intended to buy some for them. She noticed a familiar luxury car parked by the roadside as she got closer to the cake shop.

Han and Anna got out of the car together.

Anna said, "The only person who genuinely cares about me is you, Ethan. My dad doesn't even allow me to have dessert. The desserts from this cake shop tasted fantastic even though they couldn't compete with those from the branded shop."

Anna was holding Han as they entered the cake shop.

Leah was standing not far away and she had heard everything. She looked at the two in astonishment. She experienced severe heartache and felt as though her heart was breaking.

She deduced that they must have concealed their relationship from the public while acting as though they were breaking off their engagement.

Her eyes had begun to tear up when the cold autumn wind mixed with the fine rain and fell into them. Leah was trembling, as she hid behind her umbrella and fled wretchedly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.
